Premier League Prediction Thread - Chat & Discussion

I can see why the table had to be checked several times. Even though I went down a place to 5th I don't know how I ended up only 2 points behind the person in 2nd place.

You had 24 points over the three rounds. The player now in fourth place, littlebig, had 25 points over three rounds and you are both only separated by 1 point.

The two players in second and third are on the same points but are separated by a better correct scores total.

You were the top scorer in the previous results post, with 8 points. However as that was just a single round, it was always going to be a much lower scoring round than three rounds together.

I have checked again the scores in these three and the difference between these three and week 12. I believe it is correct.

I wouldn't normally do three rounds worth of results as it is a lot to go through but it was the only way with work and health commitments in the last two weeks.

I believe that it was the most effective way to have results posted in good time and to allow all players as much time as possible to predict upon round 16. Hope this is ok.

Nice one Boomer, Baywatcher too and shout out to Stem for crushing it this season.

Also cheers to Reg for continuing to run this comp in a stellar manner and providing us with numerous reminders and opportunities so we don't miss out especially during this busy period.

Cheers mate, surprised I was top scorer in week 15, last time that happened was week one. Really enjoying the mid-table battle. The 6 places from 8th to 13th are separated by only 5 points.

Great effort from Reg to post the scores & updated table in quickfire time after last nights games.

Thanks Reg, I didn't mean for you to go into such a detailed response, though I'm glad you're clearly much better with numbers than I am. I'm not surprised that Littlebig has overtaken me, what I am surprised about is how close we got to the number 2 position. Stemm is way clear at the top and may not be uprooted, but it looks tight at the top for the next 4 places.

I think it's all quite open still. Very little difference between a lot of the placings and we've seen the difference that can be made with successful jokers and with multiple rounds in one post. Both of those offer a lot of points.

But I'm not doing three rounds in one again - my head still hurts after Thursday night's adding up...

So far, just the one point from yesterdays fixtures and I'm struggling to double that.

Yeah me too up to that point. Unfortunately the Hammers let Fulham win because they have to concentrate on their European tie against Freiburg in the week.

But City came from behind to beat Luton so that's 2 points, and Spurs are 2-0 up against Newcastle so I'm on course for at least a point there.

Still my ambitions for taking 2nd place this week have come down with a bump.

Yup, a week to forget, don't ever remember a 2 point week. I know it happens, but I bet if you tried to get only 2 points or less you'd fail more often than not. Oh well, time for a reboot, already working on next weeks fixtures, the only way is up, as Yazz would say, or Otis for those old enough to remember.

Some frankly crazy full times made high scoring impossible across the board. I'm putting the results post together now so hopefully you'll all be able to move swiftly on to a better round next weekend.

edit: The results and next fixture list are now up in the main thread. The next round starts on Friday so I thought it best to post it now to give you more time.

I don't know what you mean, 7 points is high for me
